Whispers of the Dark Group 7

Roleplaying as Maximilien de Fostoncy [x]
English | French
────────────────────────────

Alessio seemed rather annoyed by his statement, not grasping what he truly wanted to suggest. So did Rose, who thought what he was trying to point out was that everyone could be the murderer. Anyway. Seemed like his efforts to poke at the real murderer and bring out what’s really going on among the group failed. Maxi snatched his head and shrugged when the light went out, giving himself out to the darkness and patiently waited for something new (hopefully) happen.

Poor Giovanni was once again the target, now losing both arms and looking not as well as when the game had started. Maxi sighed. Twice on one single person, and that explained something. Alessio and Sophia stated that they would vote for Carlo, as there was some grudge going on between her and Giovanni, and that could provide as a motive. Oh, and Carlo had said she wanted to leave - but Maxi couldn’t quite agree with that point, as Carlo might just be impulsive to say so when she got bored prior, and maybe she had already changed her mind and wished to engage in the game. But above all,it was that thing that was lingering in his mind: whoever the murderer was, they’d want to eliminate the Doctor in the game. It didn’t matter if they held grudges with him or not. And, if there was someone else who was openly hostile towards the Doctor - wouldn’t that be even better for the murderer to conceal themselves?

Though he couldn’t say for sure. Carlo might just want to revenge, that already sounded like a feasible explanation.

“Actually…” Maxi hesitated, as his prior speech which didn’t work out had already rendered him rather suspicious. Maybe he just got to try it again. “Uh, I think whoever the murderer is, Giovanni is a threat, since he knows how to heal.” A pause. “I’m not saying that Carlo is innocent, and for now she seems one of the most suspicious, along with Maria, as they are the ones that openly admit their disagreements with Giovanni or Alessio, who have been confirmed as the ‘nice people’, thankfully.”

Dark grey eyes scanned the room. For now his suspicions were mostly directed towards Carlo and Maria, but could there be someone lurking among the seemingly “harmless” crowd? After he had come up with the idea, Maxi thought he couldn’t decide it. Yet he would still place his vote on Carlo or Maria, probably, and see if there’s still a murderer among them after these two were eliminated.

And…can any of you guarantee that you are mere harmless citizens? For a second he wanted to ask, yet restrained himself. Again, he didn’t know that for sure.

Noah began to pull the fake knife out of his pocket and he began to press it against the palm of his hand. It was almost as if if he was using it for fidgeting, but in reality, he was trying to figure out what he would do next. Sure, he wanted to see more and more them die but as the lights go out, it wasn’t like it was easy to see your target.

It would be like shooting your shadow in the darkest corner of the room.

He looked at the floor, before he looked up again, thinking… Should we begin? That was a question he began asking himself. He didn’t want to ask physically or verbally, so he would just go ahead and begin.

The lights out, the glimmer of the wet hair of everyone as the natural light refracted off of them. Noah looked around.

He looked up and down, left and right. He walked around each person he could see to see if they were hiding something.

Now, this was definitely a wait longer than the previous rounds, being at 5 minutes of lights-out. When Noah finished his evaluation, he walked back over the wall to bang his arms on it.

The lights went back on. He saw a red circle on Maximilen's wrist and he felt his grin grow larger than a clown's shoe. He banged on the wall again and the light went off again, this time for a brief second. He saw the doctor go over to help Maximilen and Noah decided she did, in fact, survive the shot. He banged on the wall again and turned on the lights.

"Maxi, lose the arm." He looked around the room and smiled. "You would've lost two today if it weren't for your doctor. On the sad side of the news, Avis, you have been voted out by majority. You are free to remain or to return to the Gala."

Notice
Every mod post, you will notice that the light goes out every time there is a murder. The light stays out for 1 minute to allow the murderer to conceal the weapon in some way and to avoid suspicion. When the light goes out, you'll hear a bang from the nerf gun and if you feel yourself getting shot with a foam bullet, you have been killed. You may lay down on the ground and play dead. You may find a funny pose to be in, whatever. When the light goes back on, a vote will be held to accuse someone of the murder.

I've been accused of a murder! What do I do?
Well dearie, you would've been considered "executed" if the majority votes you as murderer. This means that you are out. The game is over when all of the players are dead except for the detective and murderer, or when the murderer has been accused and executed.

How do I vote?
Every round, you need to send me an owl of who you're voting or accusing. Additionally you MUST post otherwise your vote will be seen as invalid.

I did not post for a round or more, what happens? (if you don't send me your vote but post, it's okay, don't worry about it.)
The murderer will likely kill you the next round.

I'm the murderer! What happens now?
Post each round. Send me your target via owl. In Character, when the lights go out, you can pull out your nerf gun and shoot your target. You will have the rest of the minute to hide the gun or conceal it.

I'm the detective! What happens now?
Post each round. Send me your accused victim via owl. You cannot be killed.

I'm a doctor! What happens now?
Post each round. Send me your accused victim via owl. There will be a second blackout in the mod post in where you will have a CHANCE of healing the shot victim.

I was a shot victim! I was healed!
Good for you, you may continue in the game. However, one of your limbs have been ic AMPUTATED so in roleplay, you would not have that limb because the doctor amputated the shot limb.

What if I have to leave Out of Character and I'm the Murderer or a Doctor or a Detective?
That's fine, just please notify us at some point. We will owl another person and give them an additional "title" for their character that they are already playing. For example: Baker is now Murderer but still the same character, you don't gain another. When it comes to a detective and a doctor, unfortunately, we won't pass it on. The game continues until its over.

Please note: We are taking actions via owl so that actions and votes are anonymous to keep the mystery. What you choose to say or do in your post whether ooc or ic can be used against you so do your best to keep your "secret" role anonymous. If you are a detective or a murderer it can be used against you if you say it out loud. We suggest coming up with an undercover job to conceal the fact. Not required, you could be vague, but what you say and do whether oc or ic can be used against you.

Noah figured he’d end this round off ceremoniously. It was simple, all he had to do was do the repetitive. He walloped on the wall with his arms, the slapping noise ringing throughout the room. “Hey guys, we’re going to do this round differently from the last. I know you’re wondering what I mean by that, but it is rather simple. This is the final round, which means that instead of the lights going out and all, you all had a chance to submit your vote and try to eliminate the murderer.”

Did any of them submit a vote?

No.

“None of you were voted or accused as the murderer.” Simple right? Well now for the next step.. Noah would withdraw his retractable knife and walk around each person, trying to appear as dreadful and creepy as possible, waving his fake knife around. Sure, he looked like a fool from the outsider’s perspective, but he was trying to get into the groove.

He finally stopped upon the true murderer. He stabbed Rose with the fake knife in their chest, smiling with satisfaction. “Well, well, well. If it isn’t Luca. Or should I say… ROSE.” He looked at the others, “It seems you missed the major aspect, the fact that Luca never stated their true role in comparison to the rest of you. After all, why would a murderer say they are a hitman?” He frowned, demonstrating a face of fake pity.

“Oh well. You all are now free to go.” He stepped aside, allowing the group to leave.

Nobody came with any compelling arguments against Avis, so that was who he had voted for. Apparently so had a few other people as she was voted out of the game, at long last they had finally come to a decision about someone. It was a shame though that she wasn't the murderer as the game continued on with her gone.

This time the murderer had targeted Maximilien, who had been more vocal about who could be a suspect, so maybe he had been on a right track? As Mylo tried to figure it all out they completely missed the last round of voting, too busy in their own head trying to gather all the clues they had gotten and everything they knew.

Which is why when Noah started circling the group, holding a retractable knife about to reveal who the murderer of the game was, Mylo paid close attention. To their shock Rose was stabbed by him, signalling that she had been the murderer. They really hadn't expected that one, but it was just a testament that she was good at games like these.

Turning towards her he smiled. "You had us all pretty convinced then, shall we get back to the gala? I did quite enjoy this though." Turning towards the doors, leaving the 'murder scene' behind them.
